Change in the Weather

Really not liking this weather change.
I am so sorry that I haven't written as often as I normally do, but I have been feeling a little under the weather here lately. I can't seem to chase away this congestion in my chest enough to stop coughing. I have had to drag out older clothes with those dreaded long sleeves. Ugh, I really like spring and fall but winter just isn't my season. I hate winter. Everything is dead outside and when the wind blows it sends a chill straight down to your bones. On the other hand, Big, loves winter weather and everything about it. He always says that the clothes are one of his favorite things about it. I just hate feeling all bundled up and toting around all of the crap that you have to. Gloves, scarves, hats, chapstick, and coats just get heavier and heavier as the season goes on. Oh, and who exactly decided that winter would be the longest of all the seasons? I would like to see someone about this. I miss pool days already.
I have been so busy here lately and so many things have been going on. My baby nephew turned 1!!!!! We had a get together at the McDonald's for his little party and he had the blast of his lifetime. All the children running around and all the new gifts were almost too much for his little senses. And as if that wasn't enough, we let him have his own little birthday cake to eat and play in. It was so hilarious watching him devour that cake and get it all over himself. Too awesome. I can't believe that it has been a year since the little miracle came into our lives.
Maggie, my bestie, came for a very short visit for her fall break. Big and I had dinner with her and it reminded me of just how much I love being with her and just how different we two are. She and I caught up on our current lives, which wasn't too much considering we email daily, but it was so nice to talk in person. She had never met Big and wanted so much to see what all the hype was and has been about for the past two years. He didn't disappoint. We all got along famously and even went back to the house after dinner. For the past couple of days since dinner with her, we have been trying to convince her to come back up for this coming weekend for the Halloween party. Hopefully she will attend. Well that's all I've got for today.
Until next time, happy hump day and stay warm
